Clue

Ashlyn May

With the scissors

In the kitchen

Some pictures of the victims:


Here's the story - Ashlyn was at the table cutting out pictures in her coloring book (I let her use the scissors all the time). I hear her say, "Mom, my hair is falling on the table." I go upstairs to check it out and almost start crying.

She had her hair professionally cut on Tuesday and I have been meaning to style it and take some pictures to put on the blog. I guess watching someone else cut her hair made her want to try herself. So sad.

I'm not sure what exactly to do. I guess I will just part it really far over on one side and pull her longer hair over to cover it. I mean, she can't exactly get all her hair cut that short, can she?

Oh no! How sad! I'm so sorry. My 5 year old niece did the same thing to her and her younger sister. So sad. I bet you can make her hair look cute still though.

Boo hoo! I would try to style it several ways and/or ask a professional! Fortunately it will grow back. Boo - hoo!

This is a very creative post - I like the way you described the incident. Is the first picture taken after she cut her hair - if so, you did a great job! I'm curious to know how you handled it. Let me guess - no yelling - lots of loving. Love you !!!

I'm sorry, but I cannot stop laughing. I know it is sad, but...haha...it is inevitable. I think every child tries that at least once. Haha. What cracks me up is the way you presented the situation on your blog as well as Ashlyn's confession..."my hair is falling on the table?!" Lol. Wow. I cannot stop laughing. That really made my day! See you in less than week!!

Jessica did the same thing...along
with most of the kids in the world..
We took Jessica to the hairdresser and told her that to be able to
cut hair you have to have certificate like the hairdresser had...that helped...
Ashlyn is so very beautiful!!!
KEEP SMILING!!

You are so funny. I too loved the way you presented it. Lucky for me, I have boys. They cut their hair, I shave it off.

Although it's no fun now, years down the road I'm sure you'll both laugh about it. What are the odds that this happened right after a professional cut!?!

Tracy said...
